Kamishibai “paper theater” is a traditional form of storytelling from Japan.

Typically, stories are presented using around a dozen large and beautifully illustrated cards with English translations on the back. The dramatic dialogue format is engaging for beginner, intermediate, and fluent readers. The size of Kamishibai storytelling cards makes it suitable for all size audiences, and appeals to everyone.
